Comments on: Thoughts on how far we’ve come… http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2007/10/01/thoughts-on-how-far-weve-come/ This is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan.

Glad you found me. I agree a bit of communitarianism certainly helps one grab the spirit and run with it. I rue the loss of the days when towns actually had community kitchens and canning centers in the days of WW2. Would that we could have a community bakery! Gosh, that would be wonderful. I am glad you piped up though: I am eager to read more about you and your project! Warm thoughts….

A few of us have got an urban farm project underway, and after 10 years of gardening on my own, i sure am liking the collective approach!
i’m slowly working towards eating within my region, i just haven’t been able to buy a tomato off season since 1. i know what they taste like right out of the garden and 2. the energy used to truck them 2000 miles to get here.
What’s really exciting is that i meet so many people in the city that want to learn to can!!! :)
Hope your winter is filled with beautiful musings on future plantings!
Be well, Linda

She raised ten children here!

Liz: I go downstairs and I smile; I can’t help myself. Please do show us your stash!

Aw, Meredith, how many cantelopes can one eat? I think we eat maybe three a year. But yeah I am big on the greens thing.

Frugalmom: It’s (also) been an exercise in frugality, so I am glad I’m getting the thumb’s-up!

I don’t think you would technically be denying the seasons with your greenhouse. Just sort of extending them. I don’t think you’ll be eating cantelope in the middle of February, but you may some some awesome greens!

You’ve got me thinking I should flash my own pantry. :)

She and my Dad used to grow and can all their own veggies. To me their shelves looked like a work of art with all the colorful veggies canned and sitting in rows. Yummy too.
